​Want to help? Become a volunteer driver, make a financial contribution, and/or talk to your favorite stores and restaurants about food waste. We want to make it commercially unpopular to waste food! Thanks.

DON'T DUMP. DONATE!

Thank you for making a donation, raising funds to run Waste Not Food Taxi. We're getting closer to implementing the app that will make us "the Uber of leftover food!" Please let your grocers, restaurants, schools, and coffee places know about us so we can reduce food waste together. And more volunteer drivers are always needed.

Thanks for your support!.

Are you aware that nearly 40% of the food grown/ produced in the United States is thrown away? At the farm, if it's not the perfect size, shape, and degree of ripeness, it often doesn't even get harvested. Farmers can't afford to handle food that people won't buy. At the grocers', produce that looks a little limp or gets a bruise, dairy products too close to their "sell by" date, and mountains of day-old baked goods are removed to make room for fresher, prettier food.

Meanwhile, almost 50 million people in the states don't know where their next meal is coming from.

There is NOT a food shortage. Only a logistics problem!

By buying our world-class brownies and other products, you're helping us fight hunger. We can transport food that farmers can't afford to harvest or store. With our exciting new Waste Not Food Taxi, we can pick up what grocery stores and restaurants don't have the manpower to deliver. We also cook for free meal programs on the streets, volunteer at local food pantries, advocate for hunger relief in Salem, and work in partnership with Oregon Food Bank to help identify needs and meet them. Your purchases and donations cover licenses, a freezer purchase, gas for vehicles, insurance, and other operating expenses. Our staff is entirely volunteer.
